I see where Kingsway Cigarettes sponsored some races at Phoenix Park in the 60's, but all I can find is the mention of it and the run down. I would like to find a poster or if they ever sponsored a car. Anybody know if there's something out there?

Yes, it was an Irish-only brand. Circumstantially, based on this, it looks like by the late 60s Imperial Tobacco may have switched to a more corporate 'Player-Wills' approach in Ireland rather than promoting individual brands: https://brandnewretr...from-the-1960s/
Equally, when did Ireland relax the on-car advertising ban? IIRC it was still down to individual national authorities even after 1968?
